There are several interlocking encryption mechanisms, such that cracking one part of the system does not necessarily crack other parts.
A password bank differs from a password manager in that the encryption mechanism to secure data (passwords) must include three layers of different encryption families.
In order to protect that, you have an encryption mechanism called HDCP.
Application streamlining also addresses any application-specific data encoding or encryption mechanisms so that data deduplication mechanisms can be applied on the original data format.
When I 'cracked' the gloating 'you can't read this' message, and detailed the 'encryption mechanism', the SysOp of the local BBS went ballistic.
Railo is unable to decrypt (or execute) templates that have been encrypted with ACF's encryption mechanism.
But unlike standard music files, the copies cannot be duplicated, and an internal encryption mechanism prevents them from being played on other computers.
An AES-based encryption mechanism that is stronger than TKIP.
In fact, even ATA drives have a built-in encryption mechanism.
In some cases a secure USB drive may use a hardware-based encryption mechanism that uses a hardware module instead of software for strongly encrypting data.
